1st post on here ever, you could say I\'m a First Time Starter, some may even say I have good workouts, whatever that means. Seems like a fun crowd though, it was my 1st time reading on here leading up to the Derby, lots of differing opinions, which makes the game great.
I too was wondering how these numbers would come back because it\'s possible that enough didn\'t like the track that they could have just been an X for that alone. The more I watched the replay the better the effort looked, he really made all the running himself. Perhaps being against the horse aided in \"guessing\" what number AD would get, and the competition behind him certainly raised more concern even if it was 2 of the more likely horses to move forward in the race, but at the end of the day, he was the only one that really ever looked like a winner, and figure aside it wouldn\'t shock me if he went to the Preakness and wins again, although I\'m somewhat suspicious still and certainly wouldn\'t single or bet at 3-5.
